    For owners of 355 5.2 motronics if your immobilizer is active (ON) does your engine crank over but car not start?

    one owner '96 MY says NO crank and no start
    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/143272906-post39.html

    at least one owner with a '98 and one with a '99 MT says YES will crank over but no start.

    Any others? What about '97 MY?

    It looks like a '98/'99 update to drain more power from the battery.

    I wonder if it's a safety issue since it seems only the F1 cars engage the starter. I've noticed that MT F355's don't have a clutch safety switch like most cars.

    Sorry, mine does crank, no start. My neighbors 99 gate also cranks, not start. We just tried them both.
